The first grade tests are different than K's and the first grade teachers I know do not find it useful. We are all being pushed to use Amira the AI tutor.

This is what you get when your school board leadership is someone from a notoriously abusive charter chain and a cop, just saying

Wild that the district knows teachers will take home less money starting in January but had 2.3 million to give upper management a raise

It's so cool Su is out there saying everyone needs to work together and make sacrifices to close the deficit while giving her cronies 13% raises. Starting in January I'll be making $350 a month less, but the Asst Supes need another 3k a month

He also blamed everything on "leftist schoolmarms"

When Huling, Su, and the rest of them insist we all have to work together to solve the problems they caused, they exempt themselves. It's craven and repugnant

Yeah she's just very unhappy that we have not settled a contract, sees management as blameless, thinks negotiations should involve third parties (her), and is spiraling because most of the people in her group disagree and are realizing what her agenda really is

When the district trots out one of its senior staffers making 300k+ a year to insist they've only got fifty cents and a box of pencils to offer UESF, remember this.

2.3 million is more than half the cost of the UASF contract, and UASF is a far larger unit!

If I were constantly insisting that the district is broke, I wouldn't give myself another generous raise!

It's just so funny that the all about the kids centimillionaire is tweeting about teachers being greedy. Also I bet a million dollars her kids' teachers get dollar store school supplies as a holiday gift

(And yeah, they're bargaining in bad faith and if I ruled the world, I'd have filed an ULP for their "we aren't going to explain how much this concession would save" bullshit plan).

Starting in January, many staff will be taking home hundreds of dollars less every month. SFUSD's offensive, bad faith af offer wouldn't change that.

If you don't want a strike, you need to talk to the district. Not the staff they disdain.

I've said this before but a real contract issue this cycle is that health care costs have increased dramatically for all (non C suite) district staff, and staff with dependents on their plans are looking at 40-60% cost increases.

Also, Meredith, please take a note that your threats will not make me stop calling out your shitty, right-wing, privatizing politics.
